Detecting an Empty List
I am new to Textpattern but am an experienced programmer. I am trying to figure out how to display something special if a list is empty.
I have a page with a list of Articles on it. These are actually Events so will expire, but I want to be able to present a simple “Nothing right now, more coming soon” type thing. I have looked through all the Docs I can find and have not see an Is_List_Empty tag or plugin or whatnot.
Am I going about this the wrong way or just missing something?

<txp:chh_if_data>
<txp:article />
<txp:else />
Sorry - This is message - we don't have articles within current section\category
</txp:chh_if_data>Use plugin chh_if_data

Re: Detecting an Empty List
Or if you don’t need the plugin’s big features, then little line of php is enough:
<txp:php> if(article(array()) == '') echo 'This is message - we don\'t have articles within current section/category'; </txp:php>Just option, as you, Torrent, said “programmer” that means you write programming languages :)
